Construction & Design:

The FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shock is crafted from high-grade aluminum, which dissipates heat up to four times more efficiently than conventional steel bodies. This heat management is critical for maintaining consistent damping performance during extended off-road use or demanding driving conditions. The smooth, seamless alloy body is precision-machined and anodized to resist corrosion and wear.

At the heart of the shock is the race-developed main piston paired with a true Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that effectively separates high-pressure nitrogen gas from the shock oil. This design minimizes cavitation and shock fade, ensuring consistent damping response. The shock’s spherical bearings are heat-treated and lined with Teflon to reduce friction and enhance durability, while the redundant sealing system protects against contaminants and fluid leaks.

Installation & Fitment:

This FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shock is designed to fit most Jeep Gladiator models from 2018 through 2026, including popular trims such as the Rubicon, Mojave, Overland, Sport, Willys, and special editions like the 80th Anniversary and Launch Edition. It is optimized for vehicles with a 2 to 3-inch lift, making it an excellent upgrade for lifted Gladiators seeking improved suspension performance.

Installation is straightforward with factory mounting points, requiring no major modifications. For best results, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque settings and alignment. The shock is fully serviceable, allowing for future rebuilds or valving adjustments to suit your driving preferences.
